For those needing to replace just one tail light, the whole bumper doesn't need to be removed. As you see @2:51, removing the screws/bolts from one side, and pulling it away from the body, allows the bumper to droop down enough to access the 10mm bolts to remove the tail light. That will save you from removing and reattaching 4-5 screws/bolts on the opposite side of the bumper.
Yup that's what I did, left the other side of the bumper attached. Also maybe WD-40 the 10mm studs and nuts and let it loosen--mine were rusty and one sheared off. Otherwise exactly like this excellent step-by-step how-to.
I just finished this task on my new, used Accord. I replaced the bumper cover last weekend so upset that I had to take it off again. But the worst was those two 10mm nuts that hold the metal bracket in place and secure to the tail light. Mine were very rusted and I could only get one off. The hammer was the clutch performer this evening. That tail light was going in no matter what. Have to drive to work in the morning. Tail light replacement shouldn’t be this difficult.😤

Great video, definitely helped a lot and was able to get my new piece in without much fuss and with minimal tools. I want to note for those that encounter this: I have a '05 Accord Hybrid, and the pins holding the bumper cover from the bottom appear to be a 2-piece fastener. After cracking my first one, I examined it with some detail on how it worked. I took the flat side of my hammer and brought some force straight down from the top of the other pin, which worked and preserved for re-fasten.
THANK YOU!!! I was able to follow your procedure ..... and.... SUCCESS!!!! Mine is a 2004 Honda Accord, which is a very dear car. It only had 70,000 miles on it when my 91 year old (nearly blind) mother gave it to me..... it runs like a new car, now it looks like one too after replacing the tail light assembly.... Your detailed procedural walk thru was the only video that helped...:-D

Thank you very much, great video! I had no idea how involved this was just to replace the bulb, but I do feel confident enough after watching your demonstration that I can do it.
Very helpful video. I plan on replacing one of my taillights pretty soon when the new one arrives. My question to you is, I have the coupe and not the sedan, do you know if all the steps are the same only difference being the shape/size of the taillight?
@@1AAuto I agree with Neil above -- THANK YOU for showing us the way!!

ALWAYS spray the body pins with a silicone lubricant and let it soak in. Repeat, and work them around. They slide right out. Then clean them up and spray again before reinstalling them. And replace those 330°F filament bulbs with LED bulbs. The factory bulbs cook the sockets until they crumble. The socket will thank you later, and they are 3x brighter.
@Schlag96 Hi, we do explain in the video where these bolts are and how to remove them from your vehicle. We also show you how to remove the taillight bulb, in case it burns out.
We currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular repair. We'll keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future.
This process can also be accomplished without taking the bumper off. Follow the directions for the inside trunk but instead of taking the bumper off simply use the 10MM socket and your arm easily can reach the bolts behind the bumper for disassembly and reassembly.
The bumper covers those 10mm bolts. There is no access to the bracket if the bumper isn't moved out of the way. But, if you only have one taillight to remove, then yes, the whole bumper doesn't need to be removed. Just as you see @2:51, removing the screws/bolts from one side allows the bumper to droop down enough to access the 10mm bolts.
I see where you show how to change the light bulb in the right side but the left side seems to be slightly different...an extra wire- thats brown. Can you show how to reconnect if accidentally removed?
Im changing my tail lights in my 2003 accord ex 4door from factory ones to black housing ones. Do you have another video that shoes how to replace the other piece of the tail light assembly that is connected to the trunk lid?

Thanks for that simple tip!! That ought to save me at the very least 20 extra minutes!!
Much appreciated!!
amazing. Could they make it any harder...
@ltildragon The bulb has two filaments and one is burnt out, you just need a new bulb, that does NOT require removing the bumper cover.
Awesome, saved me 150 bucks and took about 15 minutes to replace. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this how-to-vid. My grandson had no idea and I tend tol think how-to in old Morris' and Holdens. Lol. Most useful. Nick in Tasmania

Any details on the inner tail lights that are on the trunk door? Assuming it cant be to difficult to figure out if its not in the video.

@aintnomorenames I don't know for sure because I have not has a coupe apart, but I would believe the process is similar if not the same.
Can you also make a video on how to replace the inner tail light cover (the cover on the trunk)?

Thank you very much, great video! I had no idea how involved this was just to replace the bulb, but I do feel confident enough after watching your demonstration that I can do it.
I'm pretty sure you can replace the bulb from inside the trunk, without removing the bumper. He is replacing the entire assembly (case).
@jeremybutcher Thank you for checking out our Honda Accord taillight installation video.

now that I see how it is done its nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be....... great video
I detached the bumper only on the side with the damaged tail light assembly, left it attached on the other side.

I have a 2005 Japanese Accord model and it's exactly the same process.
Hey, what about the half of the taillight that's on the trunk lid? Are those a no-brainer or do you have a video for those? Thanks.
Is the 2007 installation the same?

It should be the same process as shown in this video,

Can I put the 2003-2004 amber turn signal modules in the 2005 accord (red turn signals) without having to modify anything electrical?
It's not something that we've tried. You might be able to, if it's the same bulb just a different color.
Thank You Mike!!
And why do I have to take my bumper off with my tail lights are up on my trunk lid
took almost 3 hours to do it.. those damn bolts are insanely hard to get out
